No one knows if they want peace or Hamas in charge, because there have been no elections since 2006 when they purged the Gaza strip of Fatah (around 1000 executed) The march is just to assuage western guilt over past colonial endeavours and the racist actions of some of their fellow citizens Israelis and Jews are largely western (in politics, attitude and culture) so let's march against them - they're just like us, so fair game - nice easy target - every socialist/anarchist hates them. Much easier and less devisive amongst the left than than protesting against Pakistan forcibly deporting 1.7m Afghanis or Iran recently chairing a UN conference on human rights Good 'ol dose of anti-semitism and conspiracy theories in there as well ... Israel planned it etc etc

Before you go off to march this weekend, consider Yahya Sinwar the Hamas mastermind of Oct 7th Whilst in Israeli prison for murdering 2 Israelis and 4 Palestinians, in 2008 his life was saved with an operation to remove a brain tumour. He was freed in exchange for Gilad Shalit, and proceeded to murder a senior Hamas command for homosexuality. Now consider that you are also supporting Iran. Oct 7th was orchestrated by Iran, they supplied intelligence, training, advanced jamming equipment and weapons. Their goal is to de-stabilise the region, they deeply resent further progress of the Abraham Accords which would see Saudi, the Gulf states and Israel establish a united front against theocratic Iran and their ally Russia. This is a proxy battle for the democratic pluralistic west against the theocracy, hegemony and facism of Iran, China and Russia.

Yes, Southwark quaking in their boots with the investigative journalism prowess of the daily mail and southwark news

As usual, wise and considered words from ex-dulwicher It's funny how all the conspiracy fodder on here moan about the cycling lobby, biased academia and the "league of lycra" - some shadowy lycra clad organisation behind the scenes pulling the strings over motoring policy in London, when the oil lobby knew about climate change decades ago and has been actively lobbying and spreading climate change denial ever since. The motor manufacturing and road building lobby also spend millions each year.

Yes, in the mid 1800s every household had 1, 2 or even 3 horse and carts parked outside their house Sports utility carts with 2 horses were quite popular in this area as well

Yes, I agree whole heartedly, let's extend the victoria line to dulwich village and the plough on LL It should only cost a billion or two, and there is such a high population density with all the surrounding detached and semi-detached housing with large gardens and driveways

Yes, push for it to be tested for PCBs, heavy metals, PFOAs, Sarin, Novichok, DDT, Anthrax and the most deadly of all dihydrogen oxide. Better safe than sorry!

It's very basic physics: * Wind resistance is exponential to speed of vehicle * F=MA higher the acceleration, more force (=fuel/pollution) needed * Energy lost through braking greater at higher speeds, although EV/hybrid can recover a lot through regenerative braking The engine may be slightly more efficient at higher speeds, this is trivial compared to the energy expended on the 3 above As you know best though, please enlighten the world on dark matter, superstring theory and grand unification of the electrostatic and gravitational forces. There's a nobel waiting for you.

Landlord has to pay £600 or so for a 3 year license to rent and submit a load of docs: plans, EPC, fire report etc In theory, the fee goes towards employing more inspectors, in practice I susepect it just pays for the admin of the scheme. There will still be rogue landlords, and the compliant landlords will raise rent to cover the costs

Great timing for tenants, yet another reason for landlords to sell up

I could have guessed, but medivet are owned by private equity: https://www.vettimes.co.uk/news/private-equity-firm-buys-medivet/

Looks like medivet have tweaked the attention of the CMA: https://www.gov.uk/cma-cases/medivet-group-limited-slash-multiple-independent-veterinary-businesses-merger-inquiries

If you're fed from a telegraph pole then obviously things are a lot easier and you're install can usually be done in a few hours with one visit. This site: https://bidb.uk/ shows you all the council work notices (obstruction of pavements/roads) by telecoms companies around your postcode, you can see the various works they are doing like laying new ducts, desilting and clearing blockages for the trunks and customer connections.

There are battery backup solutions available, I believe openreach will supply a 1 hour backup unit to vulnerable customers: https://www.bt.com/help/landline/fibre-home-phone-service--questions-about-the-battery-back-up-un You can buy a UPS that will provide for longer periods I think those who lost power for a week are in extreme rural areas, and having a couple of fully charged battery packs for a mobile is well recognised practice, A spare nokia dumb phone would also be prudent as they have battery life of a couple of weeks, use in conjunction with a couple of large usb batteries would give you a couple of months.

Also in action today on Elmwood road and Beckwith road pulling cable and installing the block terminals on top of the telegraph poles. Also dug up a length of half moon lane pavement to put down some new ducting. If you think openreach are bad then try virgin media.

If they really want to build housing, then rebuild the sainsburys with housing on top. Oh, I forgot it's far cheaper to build on virgin land

Cyclists are low hanging fruit for the police, easy to catch and good PR to give a cyclist a bollocking in front of the car driving public.

In many european cities the scooters must be left in designated bays, this is mandated by the local authority. We used them extensivelt in Budapest and you are not allowed to end your ride unless it's in a designated bay, It's very easy to do the same in london.

Energy price cap: electricity 31.8p/kwh, gas 6.4p/kwh You canna change the laws of physics, heating water is always going to be cheaper with gas

chick is not interested in debate. Not interested in the 2m Israeli arabs (in the so-called apartheid state) who enjoy better education and medical care than us in the UK. Not interested in palestinian childrens TV that teaches them to aspire to martyrdom. Not interested in the Hamas pusch that killed 100's of fatah/innocent palestinians. Not interested in money from EU funds, Qatar and Saudi giving pensions to families of those who kill the jew.

Have you looked at dell, HP or lenovo websites? For such light usage you can get a mini PC, about the size of a large book and can even be attached directly to the back of your monitor to save space. These 3 manufacturers are the top tier, used by businesses and they offer 3 year warrantys.

How old is the house? Unless the house is modern, this is probably nothing to worry about and easily fixed given sufficient cash. The foundations for the bay were often not deep enough, Perhaps, all the houses in the street were built by the same builder and therefore exhibit the same problem. It can be fixed by underpinning and perhaps tying in the brickwork with helibars. Ask you're insurer what needs doing so they will cover it.

Most kitchens use blum fittings, so are all the same in terms of quality. I did buy a £200 polish kitchen off ebay 10 years ago, that used some unmarked lower spec fittings, but quite understandable. The main difference is flat pack/rigid ... obviously rigid is more expensive, and the carcasses will usually be better quality. An assembled flatpack kitchen wouldn't stand up to shipping. Personally, after fitting lots of ikea furniture and seeing the fittings rip out of super cheap low density chip board I would avoid ikea, unless their kitchens are a step up quality wise and they make the carasses from decent density MDF. The final difference is the fronts, if they are gloss then take a close look at the foils/seams to make sure of a decent quality. Myself, I bought a german Schuller kitchen and fitted it myself ... which was a joy. Like so much, german sales pitch is quality led and rubbish is not tolerated, UK sales pitch is marketing led with a fast talking salesperson.

You can bet that the Dulwich estate would not tolerate such dilapidation of a building within the Village, but it's next to a council estate ... so that's OK.
